      - I initially was like "wow, Halifax is more urban than I realized" then figured it was probably Toronto - ty97 Apr 5, 09:18 3
        
        With very careful framing I could make one block of Halifax look like this - Reagen Apr 5, 09:21 2
        
        That must be a busy day in August when they have to do all the filming before the ice re-forms -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:23 1

    - (The Toronto tourism people would be thrilled that you made the comparison) -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:16
  - In the studio? I assume it's like Yonge Street or something - Reagen Apr 5, 09:15 1
    - Right, there's an area at like Yonge and Dundas I think that is effectively trying to be the Toronto Times Square -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:15

      - I point and laugh at the Starbucks drive through as I walk inside, look for my name on the cup that I ordered via app, and then walk back out. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 09:08
      - Timmies lineups are public hazards at this point. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 5, 09:05
    - There's a whole new development by Larry Uteck, if you know where that is. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 09:04 3

        It's in between the split and Bayer's Lake. - Reagen Apr 5, 09:09 1
        
        gotcha. think that was just getting going when we left -- nm* - Beaker Apr 5, 09:10
It's an epidemic -- (link) - Dano Apr 5, 08:45 4
- I joked yesterday at work that during Summer Game Fest someone should slap Geoff Knightly for no reason. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 09:03
- "If you or a family member have suffered from Slapitis, you may be entitled to a settlement." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 08:51 1

  - I don't think he would play if he felt any different. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 5, 08:49 1
    - Plus, it's the same concept as the Joe Flacco Elite comments...at that level of talent, you don't ever admit - Will Hunting Apr 5, 08:52
- Draft Kings has him at +3500 -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 08:46 3
  - What kind of odds can I get on a last-minute substitution where his son plays instead? -- nm - Baruno Apr 5, 08:48
  - That's both crazy to consider and ... totally great odds? - Will Hunting Apr 5, 08:48 1
    - Yeah. I think if he's playing he thinks he could win it. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 08:51

man, I still can't believe Amy Schumer said that joke out loud to other people. -- (edited) - Beaker Apr 5, 07:18 18
- It really does appear that Baldwin is getting away with it though. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 07:53 11
  - What, exactly, is there for him to “get away with”? It was a tragic accident. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 07:55 10
    - There was a lot of evidence from what I understand of set negligence. Surely there should be some kind of responsibility/blame/accountability assigned -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 08:05 9
      - There will be when the civil suits get settled. That won't likely happen until the full investigation is complete. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 08:42
      - yes - but not to him as an actor. Actors aren't the ones in charge of safety. You wouldn't say an actor that was killed in a stunt set up by someone else committed suicide. Baldwin didn't murder anyone. -- nm* - Andie Apr 5, 08:33 1
        
        I admit I've watched way too much L&O so was kind of thinking there'd be some kind of manslaughter case drawn up. Plea deal. End credits. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 08:37
      - He isn't guilty of anything from pulling the trigger, IMO. But as a producer, yes, a bit of responsibility there. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 08:12 1
        
        That’s ultimately between him and his insurers, I’m guessing. - znufrii Apr 5, 08:41
      - agreed -- nm - mud Apr 5, 08:07 3
        
        I'm not saying he should go to jail. But I see where the joke was germinated as the comparative reactions have been pretty huge. - Qale Apr 5, 08:11 2
        
        the only thing that's funny about her is her thinking that after stinking up the night of the show it was a good idea to say .. - mud Apr 5, 08:15 1
        
        I honestly thought they hired that trio to host was to troll people. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 08:38
- If you’re going to make that type of joke, you better have it nailed down and have the thickest skin about other stuff - Will Hunting Apr 5, 07:42
- I am in the camp of "anything can be a joke" ... but there's some subjects where it had better be the funniest fucking joke ever - Reagen Apr 5, 07:38
- yeah, that was a joke that should never have been said in public. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 07:26 2
  - Devil's advocate in me wants to suggest that a comedy club isn't truly public as it has gated entry. Nightclubs like to use that same idea... - Qale Apr 5, 08:08 1
    - did it get posted on the internet because people heard it in a setting that really anyone could go to? That's public. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 08:34
- It wasn't funny and the facts were wrong. I've never seen a meta-anti-joke before, but maybe it's the first. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 07:21
A matter of perspective ... -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 5, 07:14 1
- I like the upside down ones there -- nm - mud Apr 5, 07:22

That WAS a stupid Wordle. Even when I got it I didn't recognize it as a word at first. I was just guessing with the remaining available letters. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 07:08 1
- I got it in 4. Strongly considered what turned out to be the correct answer at 3. - Baruno Apr 5, 07:11

LIR Beaker, that's great for you SIL. But this is why I can't have nice things. LOL - sycor Apr 5, 06:54

  - I have him around 200 using a weighted R I'm trying this season. Around 400 unweighted. - Baruno Apr 5, 07:05 1
    - It looks like F- on hands per the calc. Thanks for the help. -- nm - spamlet Apr 5, 07:39
  - I’m gonna give him a G in rebounding because 10 a game at 6’7 isn’t fair and I still don’t like him much. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 07:02
